Many of you have been in the parish for a long time. Your experience, loyalty, commitment and dedication to the community is enormously appreciated. Every parish community is made up of doers and thinkers. Both are needed to sustain the mission of the local church. Next year we celebrate the 80th anniversary of St Teresa’s parish in Morden. It will be an important moment to reflect on the past and plan ahead for the future. We are all part of the story now and the story after us will be different because of us.
